Most of the time newbs who get roughed up didn't bother to read what the board was about and just blundered in. When I first posted I got dogpiled about some comment I made in a discussion about what new SUV to buy. I came back and told the guy that if anyone ever talked like that to my face, one of us wouldn't be getting up. I never had another problem after that, just a few keyboard tough guys that need stood down, not near as bad as it used to be though.
FWIW, flat black and red wheels are pretty laughable to the general populace there, and don't mention the RR word, Ryan deleted a whole thread I started because I used that term.
If you ever lurk or register, look at the stuff AV8, Mike Bishop, JimA or pendajo build, and also Dirty31. The stuff these guys do is worth the looking. Lots of others too.
